This list is one that no city wants to be on but four Upstate New York cities have landed in the top fifty for most rats. New York State had the most cities represented.
The New York City Council has accepted that the city is unable to kill all the rodents running rampant in Manhattan, so they are going with a more invasive approach: sterilization.
Orkin has released its annual list of the cities in the United States with the most rats. Even though this is a list of fifty metro areas, there are six in New York State including here in the Capital Region.
There is a big rat problem in Albany and it's even bigger than it was last year. A new survey is out from Orkin Pest Services that list the rattiest cities in the United States.
It's not the first time the Capital Region has landed on this list, but still, yikes.
And of course, when I read this news, I automatically started listening to "Rats" by Ghost, so at least there's a good rock song to go with it. According to a recent list that CNY Central reported on, the Capital Region has landed on a list of the Top 50 "Rattiest" cities in the nation...

Rats and mice were being hoarded at three different homes in Niagara County until the Mohawk Hudson Humane Society stepped in, some of the rats and mice are pregnant (the female ones) and soon the Niagara Rodent Hoard's numbers will be in the thousands.
